Private Lightning

Hi there…usually I wait till songs are a little further along, but I wanted to post this now. My son played some of the bass parts, so wow, am I getting old. The kid is off to Notre Dame in August, it’s going to be a crazy time, hope to get to some football games!! Comment on the song if you’d like, and contribute some phrases for the lyrics if you want. It’s a song about lifting yourself above the goings on in this country and world right now and looking towards a brighter future. Thanks!

Float Me Up

Hi - Been a while….

I’ve updated both End of Days and Politically Corrupt. I’m very close to having an albums worth of stuff! The latest song I am working on is called Float Me Up, and I’ll be posting a rough basic tracks mix soon. Hope you can provide me with some uplifting ideas for lyrics. For now, I’m going to try to get ‘Politically Corrupt’ some airplay on the conservative networks…stay tuned.

Here’s links to the new edits:

Imagine if you will, Angels coming down to fight the Devils….that is end of days, back and forth.
End of Days

As fresh today as it was a few months ago … even fresher!!!
Politically Corrupt

You can probably tell from the last two posts, I got a new 88 key piano for Christmas!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Everyone.

I’ve uploaded the Basement Tapes…newly mixed by Scott Woodman. These were recorded in the early 80s in my basement in Peabody. Some of my favorite tracks were recorded in the basement, and now you can download them! Go to the home page at http://www.baselines.com and click on the Private Lightning Session CDs link. All the songs are there under the ‘Basement Tapes’ section. Ho Ho Ho, Merry Christmas! Enjoy all the free stuff you can get in this shitty Obama economy. Keep the faith, real (good) change is coming.

Hi Folks - not really a Private Lightning upload…A LONG time ago, my friend Ttiim Roy and I spent a fun night recording a song that he wrote.  It’s been stuck in my mind forever because it was such a funny song, but I lost the tape that we did that night.  So I spent the weekend trying to re-record it.  You can download the 8MB mp3 file here. It’s a love song. You may need to right-click and save if your browser is brain dead.

Hi! I know a lot of you have asked me whether I had the rare French version of Physical Speed (Vitesse Physique). Well I am happy to announce that I found a copy. You can download it here (Right Click Save if you have left-click problems). It is not in the best shape, but not too bad considering what it has been through!

I’ve uploaded the Music Designers Session done as a precursor to recording the album.  Go to the home page http://www.baselines.com and you will find a link for it there.

Hey! I’ve found some time and uploaded the next CD in Scott’s series. This is probably the best mix of the album that you will get. It has 2 bonus tracks, Physical Speed and Song of the Kite, the versions we released as singles before we had been signed by A&M. Thanks to Jasper for helping me get motivated!
